Funeral of the Late Henry ". Cur
tIs--Sketch OF His Life.
The funeral of the late Henry Y. Curtis
took place yesterday at 2 o'clock from his
late residence, 591 jackson street. MI
Curtis was born at Groyeland, n. Y, Aug
%. 1851. graduated at Lima i'll 1872, after
which he removed to Goshen, Ind, where
he read and practiced law with Hon. John
II. Baker and Judge j. S. Mitchell for
nearly eight years. His ability as an or
tor soon brought him into political promi-
nence, and he was induced to stump the
state for Garfield. Exposure and over-ex-
ertiOn brought on lung troubles, which have
brought him to an untimely grave and cut
short life of rare promise and usefulness.
Compelled to give up his chosen profession,
and, in quest of health, he removed to De-
trot as state agent for the Massachusetts
Mutual Life. The same cause brought him
to st. Paul in 1882, when he assumed the
state agency of the Mutual Life, of Worces-
ter, which position he filled with credit un-
til his DEATH Uniting as he did. pleasing
address, well-stored mind and fine CONVEX
Sational powers. he made warm and admir-
ing friends of all with whom he came in
contact. A large circle of acquaintance in
st. Paul and Minneapolis sincerely mourn
his demise, and will always hold in remem-
brance the loving qualities of mind and
heart which so endeared him to all.

committee on railroads, has been in consul
taton with Gen. Williamson, of the Crow
agency, of Montana, for some days and will
prepare substitute for Senator SAWYER

City Railroad company the right of way
through the Crow Indian reservation The
substitute puts the width of the right of way

the route asked for in the Sawyer BILL The
Sawyer bill provides for the payment of $50

SOURCE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
The State Historical Society Sits

The State Historical Society Sits
Down on Capt. Glaciers Claim.
Members of the State Historical society
have signed a document wherein they sit
pretty squarely down on w lizard GlaZier S
claim to the discovery of the sources of the
Mississippi river. The document reads as
follows:
The undersigned. old residents of the state.
and processing to be familiar with it's history
and geography, have noticed with some sur
prise that one Capt. Willard GlaZier'' has
been attempting for some time to gain noto-
rie1y through means of an alleged discovery
connected with the head-waters of the Mis-
SisSippi river, by asserting that, i'll 1881,
he explored small lake adjoining Lake
1taSca, ard which lake he asserts is the real
source of the Mississippi river and not Lake
1tas ca. as has always been admitted. The
person named is now and has for some time
been, making great efforts to have thelake
called by his name, and so recorded on the
maps of the state. The undersigned citizens
therefore. desire to take this means of in
forming the people of this state that the
claim made by GlaZier is unfounded in fact.
That he did not ''discover'' anything, the
lake in question having been surveyed, me-
andered and plated by the United States
surveyors six years previous to GlaZier' s
visit And, moreover, it is not the source of
the Mississippi river. a report on this sub
tject, proving the falsity of Glaciers claims,
is in preparation by members of the Mime
s ota Historical society, and will soon be
published.

KILLED ON THE TRACKS.

JOSeph Giernlan Crushed While
Coupling Cars at the Union Depot
Yards.
Yesterday morning Joseph Gierman was
killed on the Manitoba track, in the union
depot yards, and though there were a good
many men within few feet of him, no one
can tell just how the accident happened. He
leaves wife and child who reside at 1896
East Fifth street, near John. The child is
about months old. AS to the cause of the
accident, it seems, as near as can be obtained
the deceased was standing on the foot board
to the engine and the engineer was slowly
Tnnning up 10 a number of cars for the pur-
pose of coupling on to them. The first the
engineer knew of the accident he heard a
yell, and quickly looking in the direction
from which the sound came, he saw Gierman
on the track. Several men picked him up
and carried him into the superintendent s
Office and Coroner Markoe was sent for. The
deceased expired in q few minutes. The
body was then removed to Leigh & Co.'S I'M
dertaking rooms, where the coroner saw it
and concluded that it WAS not necessary to
hold an inquest. One popularity of this
mans death is the fact that there is not on
any part of his body a single mark Indicating
that force had been applied to it.

The Old st. Thomas Hotel Destroyed
by Fire last Evening.
While the parade was forming at Rec park
last night, an alarm of fire was turned in
from Box "A, corner Fourth and Sibley
streets. The department responded promptly
to find the St. Thomas hotel, three-story
frame building, at 324 Rosabel street,
wrapped in flames. The building was almost
entirely destroyed. Some two months ago
the hotel was saved from fire, which was
supposed to have been incendiary, and
it was condemned by the insurance board.
The lessee of the property, John Linstad,
moved out and the hotel has been unoccupied
since. The fire last night is supposed to have
been incendiary, but no motive can be as
signed. The building was owned by David j.
Hennessy, wealthy St. Paul capitalist, and
being situated upon the block which has
long been coveted by railroad companies as a
desirable location for the proposed new depot
of the Wisconsin Central numerous offers
have been made Mr.. Hennessy for the prop
erty, which for some reason have been per-
sistently refused. The hotel was tumble
down, unsightly affair and considered unsafe
by the authorities.
